Em G C G
Shrieks of sheiks as they run across the movie screen
Em G C G
A thousand sand dune soldiers led by an Arabian queen
Em G C G
And the harem girls move like fancy dancers in my dirty dream
Em C G
And I wake up on the floor holding a bed lamp
Em
Mama, she comes in and screams
G C G
"Woo! You been out with that tramp again last nigh
Em G
That silver sequined ivory black bitch
C G
You know, the one that Mama don't like"
Em G
You see, but, Mama, she sings me moon time melodies
C G
With this great Top 40 hook
Em G C G
But Mama don't care, Papa he just stares and says,
Em C G
"Mary, look the girl's alright, yeah, look the girl's alright"
C D Em G C G
And there's a tenseness in the air, don't you know, can't you feel
C D Em G C G
There's something hanging there, pull back the mist and reveal it C G C G
C D Em G C G
Even if you fear what you hear, try to conceal it
C D Em G C G
And if what Mama feels is too real, she just claims she don't feel it
C Em C G Em C G C
So come out from behind your bunkers, the liftoff's been a bust
C Em C G Em C G
Papa's gone and Mama's dead and buried in my rocket dust'
C Em C G D
You're alone now for the first time, but that's alright
Em C
Because all fear will completely disappear come the Arabian night
Em G C G
The soundman smiles and turns the dials to set the meter reading rising
Em G C G
He pulls the singer's voice from out of his pocket to see how the audience likes it
Em G C G
And in the very first row sits sweet Jenny Rue with a bell on her shoe, she wants him to mic it
Em G C G
He flicks a switch but Jenny moves too fast and the audience sways to the sound of her shotgun blast
Em G C G
The manager runs out, "Check the band's arms for bullet holes and make that man roll up his sleeves"
Em G C G
The drummer shoots himself with cyanide then asks to be relieved
Em G
And me, I say, "It's crazy in here, where's the stage door?
C G
Which way is out? I gotta get up for work"
Em G C G
The man says, "Well, once, once you're in they all lead out, what's the matter, ain't you heard?
C Em C G C Em C G
There's a war going on outside and I'm paying you to sing like a bird
C Em C G D
So get in and get tough or get up and get out 'cause things aren't too tight"
Em C
I said, "Don't worry, everything's gonna loosen up come the Arabian Night"
